I'm not familiar with Pinnacle but it looks like this card needs to be able
to load specific firmware (without which it won't work!). For Hauppauge
cards you need to download & unzip the firmware package and put the '.fw'
file into /lib/fimware.
Here are the related entries from my dmesg:
[ 995.289823] cx24116_firmware_ondemand: Waiting for firmware upload
(dvb-fe-cx24116.fw)...
[ 995.289835] cx88-mpeg driver manager 0000:00:09.2: firmware: requesting
dvb-fe-cx24116.fw
[ 995.293443] cx24116_firmware_ondemand: Waiting for firmware upload(2)...
[ 998.868838] cx24116_load_firmware: FW version 1.20.79.0
[ 998.868868] cx24116_firmware_ondemand: Firmware upload complete
I suggest you do some Googling around something like "Pinnacle HD 800i
firmware" .
To get my first Pinnacle 800i tuner to work, I had to put the
dvb-fe-xc5000-1.6.114.fw file in my lib/firmware directory. This card works
fine. I'm wondering if there is some .conf file I must edit to make both
cards work correctly.
I've spent several hours on google trying to find something about this but
all I've found so far is how to install a single tuner for mythtv.
